24 hour stomach bug

It started on Sunday with my two year old, he threw up all day, had abdominal cramps, and bad diarrhea that cleared up the next day.

However, two nights ago the same thing hit me suddenly. Severe vomiting, diarrhea, and pains.. 3 hours after it hit me, my five year old got it so he and I were both sick together.

This morning he and I were just fine. Opened gifts, ate christmas lunch/dinner. But I have horrible lower back pain that wraps around to both sides as well as light pressure under left rib cage. Also, my urine is very dark yellow amber color which is not normal for me. Im thinking dehydration so ive been drinking only water in large quantities

Im wondering if or when a trip to the ER is necessary? I do not have a fever and neither did my kids while sick. But the back pain and pressure under rib is very uncomfortable. Of course the dark urine worries me too
